OG Anunoby took his Game 4 winner to Times Square
Last week, I spoke with OG Anunoby about his new partnership with Essentia Water and an upcoming, mysterious ‘supercharged’ event that would give Knicks fans a chance to relive one of the defining moments of the team’s championship run. On Tuesday, Anunoby and Essentia revealed their surprise. The Knicks forward appeared at the Essentia Supercharged […]
P&T Interview: Ten minutes with OG Anunoby
I was vacationing in Bar Harbor, Maine, with my father and youngest son when a bizarre email crossed my phone. A marketing company was offering me ten minutes with OG Anunoby. The Knicks’ star forward had partnered with the water brand Essentia and would be making the promotional rounds in two days. Would I be […]
Tuesday Posted & Toasted Notes: Mike & Amar’e, rings galore, Boston’s lobster
This is a stretch to say, but is the offseason melting into the preseason quicker than we expected? If we’re to base our judgement exclusively on having two of these posts published in a span of just three days, not so much! On to some links and notes! “New York, the Garden, there’s nothing like […]
Why can’t the Knicks go back-to-back?
The Knicks are NBA champions. That’s true now; it’ll be true when the season opens against Philly in October, it’ll be true in the Finals rematch against the Spurs on Christmas, and it’ll be true all the way until next June, when history suggests that a ninth NBA champion in nine years will be crowned. […]
Knicks’ 2026 preseason schedule emerges amid NBA offseason
The New York Knicks’ full 2026 preseason schedule has emerged after X account New York Basketball (kudos!) put together other franchises’games, giving us our first look at the reigning champs’ five-game tune-up before the start of their title defense. The complete slate will run from Oct. 5 through Oct. 15 and feature four different opponents, […]
The Knicks are becoming their own company
For most of their history, the Knicks and Rangers have been cozy bedfellows, with a shared owner, arena, training facility, and the same balance sheet. Now James Dolan is making moves to break them up. On Friday, Madison Square Garden Sports publicly filed paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission outlining its proposed separation of […]
Saturday Posted & Toasted Notes: Scheduling, Angeleno sale, Hall of Fame
Not an impressively overloaded post, but one with some spicy topics. “But agreeing to an extension now would deprive the Knicks of one of their best trade assets, given McBride’s age, production, low salary and walk-year status. If they want to make a midseason trade to reinforce other areas of need, McBride would be one […]
Important quirks, dates, and games in the Knicks’ 2026-27 schedule
On Thursday, after a few days of gradual reveals, the NBA schedule came out in full, aside from the two to-be-determined games in December pending the results of the NBA Cup. The Knicks now know where and when they’ll be playing the other 29 teams that spent the entire offseason trying to figure out how […]
NBA Reveals Full Knicks’ 2026 NBA Cup Schedule
The New York Knicks entered last season’s NBA Cup as a team with good-not-great odds of conquering it. They left it with the trophy and outright refused to raise a banner, but will ultimately find themselves hanging up two, not one, by the end of October. Ah, life. Now, the defending NBA Cup champions know […]
Wednesday Posted & Toasted Notes: Lotsa Brunson, soft deadlines, decisions and extensions
Extenuating day of work at P&T with so much NBA content around this time of the year. Would you believe it? Me neither. Links and notes below. “It will be the same. It’s something that I get to walk around with and think about when I’m — when I need to give myself a little […]
Bruises and Baskets: Building the Knicks’ Power Forward Mt. Rushmore
After carving out Mt. Rushmores for the floor generals and bucket-getters, it is time to move into the paint. The point guards gave the Knicks flash, tempo, and leadership. At the same time, the shooting guards and small forwards provided sheer scoring. However, if you truly want to understand New York Basketball’s DNA, you must […]
NBA Announces Knicks’ Ring Night, Christmas Opponents
The two biggest regular season games of the defending champion New York Knicks’ schedule have been released, as the NBA revealed Tuesday morning on Good Morning America that the Knicks would open their season by raising the banner on October 20th against the Philadelphia 76ers before squaring off with the San Antonio Spurs in an […]
R.I.P Don Nelson
When the New York Knicks needed a new head coach after the 2020 season, they didn’t merely replace David Fizdale — fired after a 4-18 start gave way to interim Mike Miller. They wanted to open up all the windows and doors and air out all the stink of the prior era. Thus, the hiring […]
Norm, sometimes you wanna go where not everybody knows your name
There is a literary trope of the traveler escaping his identity simply by crossing a border. Kings become strangers, heroes become ordinary men, princes become paupers. For those burdened by an oversaturation of fame, especially a person with a more sensitive temperament, the escape must be tantalizing: why not abscond someplace where the role you […]
Sunday Posted & Toasted Notes: Tired OG, rookie deals, no third big
Nearly a week to put together a large enough amount of links and notes; that’s how it goes… “I was dealing with a lot. I was super depressed. My dad was rushed to the hospital, and my dad passed away while I was on the court. And then my dad died, then my coach died […]
Knicks Domino Effects: What if Julius Randle never gets injured?
Most of the time, you don’t know when a singular moment can define a franchise. I don’t think any of us expected that when the Knicks signed Jalen Brunson or hired Leon Rose, but the impact of making those decisions has put the franchise on a course towards ending their 53-year championship drought and bringing […]
Jack Kayil headed overseas; Tyler Nickel expected to go pro
The Knicks’ two second-round picks remain without NBA contracts, but each appears to have a clear path forward. The first, Jack Kayil, announced Friday that he’ll spend the 2026-27 season with Alba Berlin rather than join New York immediately. As reported by Ian Begley (SNY), the move had long been viewed as the most likely […]
Knicks Small Forward Mt. Rushmore: Buckets, Hardware, and Chaos
Over the past few weeks, both the point guard and shooting guard Mt. Rushmore have sparked a lot of great conversation and insight. Shifting our attention to the small forwards, I expect this rendition of the mountain to do the same. For the Knicks, the three-spot is not just another position. It is a goldmine […]
P&T pop quiz: Hypothesizing if the Knicks had lost the Finals
You have the entire class period to complete the quiz. Answers should be neatly written in the comment section. Do not fill in the “DO NOT FILL IN” section. When you’re done, you may sit quietly until the bell rings. If you have any questions, you’re in the right place. Good luck. NAME:DATE:CLASS:PROF. MIRANDA — […]
On this date in Knicks history: Knicks acquire Jamal Crawford
On August 5, 2004, the Knicks acquired Jamal Crawford and Jerome Williams from the Chicago Bulls in exchange for Othella Harrington, Frank Williams, Cezary Trybański, and Dikembe Mutombo. The Knicks were already a few years into a plague of nine-straight losing seasons when Crawford’s ship reached our shore. Those teams rarely gave you much to […]
Tyler Nickel situation emerges as Knicks shape 2026-27 roster
The New York Knicks found a couple of promising young players in the second round of the 2026 NBA Draft one day after moving entirely out of the first round to preserve some cap space and avoid stepping into second-apron territory. Both Jack Kayil and Tyler Nickel topped expectations last month during the Summer League, […]
NBA champion Trey Jemison III signs with Eastern Conference rival
Former Knicks two-way center Trey Jemison III is signing with the Toronto Raptors, per Chris Haynes. He will be getting the same two-way contract he had in New York. Jemison’s career has taken him on a bunch of different roads since going undrafted in 2023 after spending time at Clemson and UAB in a long […]
Tuesday Posted & Toasted Notes: Roses for Rosas, more ranks, some Jeremy Sochan
Another day in August means bad news for sports fans. Good news for me, it’s kinda cloudy and rainy today so I can’t complain. Links and notes below. “I’m in good shape. My finger is fine, and the operation went well. I’m back on the court and excited to start the season.” “I didn’t want […]
Knicks Front Office Member Announces Exit After 2026 NBA Championship
The New York Knicks will enter their championship defense without one of the executives who helped build their title-winning roster we all came to enjoy and love. Knicks senior vice president of basketball operations Gersson Rosas is leaving the organization after four seasons in New York. Rosas announced his departure through an Instagram post celebrating […]
The New York Knicks don’t need to be way better, but they could be
SB Nation’s Ricky O’Donnell, who along with the excellent James Dator comprise about 100% of the site’s NBA “staff,” wrote about seven teams he expects to be much improved this season. The Knicks are not one of the seven; their only mention in the piece is to say Philadelphia can match up with anyone in […]
